On Saturday 7 February, FÍF and Bragdið are organising round 5 of the TF Winter Series. This time it is the Faroese Cross-Country Championships. The race takes place in the beautiful surroundings of Hoydalar. The course runs across the large, lovely field and up into the wooded grove, but only on the east side of Hvítanesvegur. Boys and girls run 2 laps, or about 2.6 km. Everyone else runs 6 laps, or just under 8 km. Everyone starts together at 11:00.
Each lap includes a short loop of some 3-400 m around the girls’ boarding house.
Register here on the site by Friday evening 6 February at 22:00 at the latest.
The entry fee is DKK 50 for adults and DKK 20 for children. Payment is made online when registering.
Bib numbers can be collected in Hoydalar from 10:00 on race day.
It is also possible to register on the spot, between 10:00 and 10:30!
NB: For on-the-spot registration, the fee is DKK 100 for adults and DKK 50 for children.
The age groups are as follows:
Girls (1999-2003)
Boys (1999-2003)
Junior women (1994-1998)
Junior men (1994-1998)
Women open (-1998)
Men open (-1998)
Women veterans (1960-1969)
Women super-veterans (-1959)
Men veterans (1960-1969)
Men super-veterans (-1959)
This means that year of birth is what counts.
Medals will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in all groups.
After the race there will be a hot drink and waffles at the school, where the medal ceremony also takes place. Showers and changing facilities are also available there.
Bragdið and FÍF warmly welcome everyone to take part.
Cross-country running can be tough. Arnfinn lay as if he had been shot after the race in 2013, but survived.
